Capcom has said that porting older games to Nintendo Switch 2 is part of its multiplatform strategy, signaling that more could be on the way.
In its latest financial report (spotted by Genki_JPN), Capcom provided an update on its sales figures, noting that Resident Evil Requiem's release led to increased sales of earlier games in the series, and Devil May Cry's Netflix adaptation drove a surge in game purchases. The report also notes, "Moreover, the Company accelerated expansion of its user base by actively pursuing its multiplatform strategy, which included porting its catalog titles to the Nintendo Switch 2."
Capcom has already been one of the biggest supporters of Switch 2, with Street Fighter 6 and Kunitsu-Gami Path of the Goddess launching the system, ports of Resident Evil 7 and Village, and launch day releases for its big releases like Resident Evil Requiem, Monster Hunter Stories 3, and Pragmata, but from the sounds of things that relationship is going to continue going forward considering Capcom reported another record year.
As for what those could be, we already have had a new version of Devil May Cry 5 rated for Switch 2, and files found in Monster Hunter Wilds that mention the Switch 2, so those are probably pretty likely. I'd also bet we see native ports of Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4's remakes arrive on the Switch 2 before too long, replacing the cloud versions already available – which is something well-known Resident Evil leaker DuskGolem has spoken about before.
Although ideally it'll go even further back than that, and Capcom will bring over some of its Nintendo classics like Viewtiful Joe, Zack and Wiki, and Killer 7.
